/ff' M the block J in any suitablemanner.. In the construction shown it enters aehamber-in the block for about half of the length of the lat-l ter, so as to be able to bear upon the same at approximately its middle. A pin, f,project ing laterally from lever F, is situated in the path of the inclineor cam b of barB.

l G isan upwardly-projecting arm moving with and preferably inthe same pieee with lever F, and adapted to be engaged with a shoulder, d', Fig. 5, on link 'D.` His aseeond arm,

with lever F, which is of such length-as to abut against the forward side of the npperendof ,the trigger 1when the lever F and block J are gagement of the trigger from the hammer at such times. Tlie operation ofthe inventiom beginning with the position of the parts shown in Fig.

1, is as follows: To bring the cartridge into 3o drawingbreech-pin K' and cooking the hamsier. -Incline b', having met pin raises lever F, with the carrier-block J an contained cartridge, into line with the barrel, Fig. 2. At

the same time arm H abutsthe trigger and prevents' its displacement. A forward movement of hand-hold A' returns platea Slotc` raises pin E with the links, forcing forward 'breech`pin K to load andclose the barrel, and locking it by surface c. As the cartridge is taken from'v carrier-block J, shoulder d?, strik- 'ing arm G, depresses lever F and the carrier, which receives another cartridge. Arm H releases the trigger, and the piece is ready for tiring. A springeateh,-O, retains B in' its for- ,.ward and normal position". A similar patch, N n', brings F to rest when J is opposite the barrel. l The reciprocating motionof the hand-hold and the'pulling of the trigger mayv be kept up alternatelywith the pieceat theslioulder till the magazine 4is exhausted..

Having thus described rnyiiivention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 'iS- ssi 6o able breech-pi K,
